AGE OF VICE by Deepti Kapoor
Books in this genre don’t usually pique my interest, but I was hooked by the first page and quickly became fully invested in the lives of the characters.
The story revolves around the ruthless and corrupt Wadia family and people within their obit. They have the power and means to infiltrate, influence and manipulate all areas of business, society and government. In short, they rule all of Delhi, India in one way or another.
As you may expect, (and be forewarned) the plot involves a lot of crime, violence, brutality and other sensitive/triggering topics. It highlights the horrors and realities of the lower caste, juxtaposed with the extreme wealth of the people in power.
Overall, this was a solid, well crafted crime drama and family saga worthy of all the hype it’s getting. I don’t really want to compare it to The Sopranos or The Godfather because the story is more than that, but it definitely has that feel.
Rating: 4.5/5 ⭐️
